In a recent appearance on Fox News, Interior Secretary Doug Burgum engaged in a conversation with host Lara Trump, discussing the potential for President Donald Trump's visage to be added to Mount Rushmore.
This dialogue unfolded during a segment where Burgum elaborated on his achievements within the Department of the Interior during his initial two months in office.
As reported by Mediaite, Burgum, who previously served as the governor of North Dakota, highlighted several initiatives under President Trump's administration. Notably, he mentioned the renaming of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America. Furthermore, he commended President Trump for dedicating a wildlife preserve to honor Jocelyn Nungaray, a 12-year-old girl tragically murdered by an illegal migrant.
The Jocelyn Nungaray National Wildlife Refuge in Chambers County, Texas, serves as a poignant tribute to the young victim. Burgum expressed his sentiments, stating, To have the loss of a beautiful 12-year-old daughter, its incomprehensible to have such a tragedy committed by people that should not have been in our country. He further praised President Trump for his commitment to preventing similar tragedies, noting the President's invitation to the victim's family to attend his address to Congress.
Lara Trump, probing further, inquired about the possibility of President Trump's likeness being added to Mount Rushmore, alongside the esteemed figures of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln. She remarked, The Department of Interior is in charge of the National Park Service. The National Park Services is in charge of Mount Rushmore. A lot of people wonder! Will we ever see President Trumps face on Mount Rushmore? What do you think? Burgum responded affirmatively, suggesting, Well, they certainly have room for it there.
The discussion reflects ongoing conversations about President Trump's legacy and the potential for his inclusion among the nation's most revered leaders.
